There’s also this Ukrainian report on the matter but it’s in Ukrainian, so I’m sharing the Mastodon post in English.

      His daughter went trans so he went full South Africa.

      Since the US is so capitalist they said anyone with enough money gets to rule. Money rules elections… So here we are…

          Explain what? That it’s so stressful treating something that you spend millions to talk shit on said treatment?

          So you sign off on it why? Then say you were “tricked” why? You think his kid got treatment without consent?

              Stress as a parent? Dude saw his daughter maybe once a month. He’d tossed her aside long before she came out

              That man has received most of his fortune from being a Twitter PR person.

              Not the emerald mines?

                  The part where his family was already rich from an emerald mine and other exploitative shit, and that he has done nothing but lose money on Twitter.

          That can be an extremely stressful thing to happen to a parent.

          Only an involved one, not so much an absentee father, who seems to be mostly concerned with spreading his genes. He’s at 12 children now.

            On the flip side he’s a horrible and absent father so he seems to think that the only thing a man contributes that affects the children is his sperm.

          This is what I see a lot of from Elon supporters - holding him to a much lower standard than themselves. You say you have a similar situation, but then you still recognize that Putin is utter and complete shit. Well, Elon doesn’t and uses his child’s transition as an excuse to believe all sorts of horrible things. You can feel free to look down on him and would be correct to do so.

          Here’s an idea - try some empathy instead of whatever this “it sure shifted me to a conservative direction…” bullshit is.

          It’s not really all that believable that any normal person would behave like you say you did, but in case you’re actually serious I feel sorry for your child. Nobody deserves shit like that from their own parents.

              No. Do you have a serious case of anger management issues? You sure sound like it.

              “I truly don’t want to…” yeah I bet you really don’t want to.

          How in the ever loving fuck would being a supportive and loving parent to your child be “extremely stressful?”

          Bro holy shit, you are so close to realizing that you might just be wrong, and instead you double down?

      There’s no way Musk personally sent Kadryov a cybertruck. And Kadyrov is under sanctions so I doubt that would be legal anyways.

        He’s said nothing about it on his twitter, instead doing the usual boosting of misinformation about US politics. The silence says a lot.

          Dude there’s no way he mailed Kadyrov a cybertruck, the fact that he did not explicitly deny it doesn’t mean much at all. It’s not like he’s been dodging questions about it, it’s just one of many things he hasn’t commented on. The article from The Independent says Kadyrov thanked Musk for inventing the vehicle.

            That reporting is inaccurate if so. If you follow the Ukrainian news story link in the OP, you can click on the link to Kadyrov’s Telegram post and machine translate it or ask a Russian speaker translate its first sentence. It literally says “received from Musk”.

              I think that’s just a figure of speech, like if I order something from Amazon I could say “Bezos just sent me this”
